Mongo's song pick of the day: The Beatles - 'I Am The Walrus'
Lyrics Note: Lennon wrote the song to confound listeners who had been affording serious scholarly interpretations of the Beatles' lyrics. He was partly inspired by two LSD trips and Lewis Carroll's 1871 poem "The Walrus and the Carpenter". Producer George Martin arranged and added orchestral accompaniment that included violins, cellos, horns, and clarinet. The Mike Sammes Singers, a 16-voice choir of professional studio vocalists, also joined the recording, variously singing nonsense lines and shrill whooping noises.
John singing "I am he, as you are he, as you are me and we are all together" was thought up during an LSD trip at his home in Weybridge, Surrey. He was hearing a police siren down the road and came up with beginning melody from that.
Shortly after release, the song was banned by the BBC for the line "Boy, you've been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down".
